Network is Novell Netware, client 32. I have no network rights. The single application is mine, but the server and network are used by hundreds of other apps. What are my options when this happens?
Do you know how RLOCK() are kept? Do you think that if the same person who had the RLOCK() and crashed, then came back through the code that VFP would let them do the RLOCK(). Of course what I really want is for them to RLOCK() successfully, so they will then get to the UNLOCK.
Thanks - Brenda
>Brenda,
>What kind of network does the client have? I know that locks can be kept on Novell networks if your EXE crashes. How long they are kept depends on a network setting. I think the default is 20 minutes, but it can be changed over a wide range. NT seems to have a similar situation according to one client.

>>Debugging a client problem. Client keeps getting an "file in use" message. Client is on a network but the only current user. Tracked the message down to a RLOCK() on a table that only has 1 record (holds the next sequential number).
